There is a TBolt ad just about every time you go MSNBC's mobile app.
[Thunderbolt General] Haxcid:
If this phone had made it out sooner I was considering it. Due to Verizons complete lack of interest in releasing the phone I have decided to just wait for the tegra2 phones due later this month early next month.

What a waste. Shame as it looked like a decent phone.
[Thunderbolt General] foldog22:
Problem is, this happens with just about every major launch, with the exception being apples crap because they control everything.
[Thunderbolt General] need bb:
VZW is trying to release the phone as soon as possible. It is delayed so the user has the best experience possible out of the box, not 3 months later. The phone has had firmware bugs but hopefully they are resolved in 1.12. Based on the scope of the issues the phone will likely be release late March or early April. The phone is worth waiting for as it has great build quality and is super fast.
[Thunderbolt General] lootnplunder:
That's bullcrap. If VZW wants to stroke us and not release it then fine...but why put cases and accessories on sale in February and also run ads on prime time TV and all over the web. Coming soon doesn't mean 2+ freaking months. There are commercials run every 5 goddamn minutes. This is all about hype...

Via unlock, I am on TMobile network, running 2.2 on captivate (AT&T locked) with cognition v2.3. I want to upgrade to cognition 4.1.

Will I be able to keep my unlock or it will be removed?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mostyle:
Assuming reverse logic is true, you should be fine.

I have a vibrant that is unlocked from TMO and it has been upgraded and downgraded so many times is scary and still works fine.. As long as you unlocked before you upgraded to 2.2 your /efs data should get converted (the unlock gets converted as well) when you install your first 2.2 rom.

[HTC Inspire 4G] antioch216:
So, I was wondering how many were getting a better battery life after rooting and flashing a new ROM?

If so, could you say how much better, and what ROM/kernel you're using?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mj0528:
much better! I'm on revolution 2.1 with the audio fix
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
Did you do battery wipe after updating?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mj0528:
no, just flashed rom leaving stock radio. I didn't overclock and still getting 2200 quad with great battery life.

I'll be checking out core droid next but its hard to change a thing after getting sound quality back to normal.
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
Yes I did get great quadrant score.

What is the reason for leaving stock radio?
[Android Apps and Games] burtcom:
The stock player on my Desire Z does play DLNA video (streamed from Mezzmo running on my home server) but its implementation kinda sucks.

You cant easily jump around to skip commercials, for example. I find myself tapping the bar... oops too far. Lets go back a bit... Dammit. A way to skip forward and backwards precisely 30 or 60 seconds would be most helpful.

It also irritating that it won't resume where you left off. And browsing the files on the server can be a pain too -- it often forgets where it is.

Anyone have any leads on a better video player that supports DLNA? Or willing to create one :)
[Android Apps and Games] burtcom:
Just found PlugPlayer at http://plugplayer.com/

Will have to wait till I can get home to try it though.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navalynt:
So I as working on theming the Adeo ROM and must have messed something up. I didn't think it had to do with the framework files I had pushed so I did a factory reset to clear off all the 3rd party apps from the phone.

Well, since that reset, I can't access the phone in ADB, settings FC's, Market FC's, and I can't download/install an APK because of the security restrictions.

The phone is "functional", I can place/receive calls/sms and use the browser. USB to the PC works for everything except getting ADB access. I verified I can get it to recognize for RSDLite and for Fastbook so I figure using one of those methods should (eventually) provide me an avenue to get my phone 100% functional again.

Does anyone happen to have or know where I could find signed files for Fastboot to replace the entire /system partition or an SBF file to flash the phone back to stock? Or possibly any other solutions?

Also, before I get flamed as a n00b who broke a phone, I've worked on over a dozen different Android handsets and I was well aware I was working without a safety net. This is NOT my primary phone so if I need to I can patiently wait for an SBF to leak. I'm just checking to see if anyone knows any solutions already so I can get back to theming.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erishasnobattery:
Sounds to me like a permissions issue. I had that after I fiddled with the contacts database to unrestrict pictures from third party apps. I would double check any files you modified and make sure they got chmod'ed back to what they should be.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uskr:
You will have to somehow access the Settings to re-enable adb. When you did a factory reset, you disabled USB Development (aka adb).

For now the only known way to recover is through adb. No fastboot or signed update.zip for now.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbillion:
When I lost ADB access because of a hard reset (I think), this is what I did to fix my issue: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=974824

I never lost root after a hard reset so I went to the market and bought root explorer and sqlite editor and copied the adbd to the /sbin folder to fix adb. I then bought sqlite editor and followed this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=972760 to re-enable side loading of apps. To install apps that I had the apk's for.

I still lose adb after a reset, but I can copy the adbd file to the /sbin folder and adb works again until I reset the phone.

I made a post about losing adb access on the motorola support forums: https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/332307#332307 to see if there were any solutions, but Mark said he would get back to me after trying to reproduce my problem.

I hope this helps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navalynt:
I think I'm just up **** creek without a paddle for the moment because I can't connect via ADB, the Market force closes, and the security restrictions won't let me side-load any applications via download from the browser. I can't manually add ADB because I have no way to move the files to where they need to be.

Thanks for the replies! airbillion, I'm following your thread at the Motorola Owners' Forum to!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airbillion:
No problem. That sucks, I'm not sure what you can do. Hopefully motorola or someone here will get a sbf soon so we can mess with our phones and have a way to fully recover. I hope you get it working again. Good luck!

Requires USB Debugging to be enabled, but I have no access to enabled it due to Settings force closing and no ADB access in pre-boot.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adlx.xda:
Could you download Android Terminal Emulator 's apk to your sdcard, then install it using a apk install you may already have that work.

If you can get any terminal access from your phone, do a su, then launch /sbin/adbd. This should hopefully give you adb shell access. Without needing to enable USB debugging.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navalynt:
It won't let me install a downloaded APK because of the security restriction.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnbuck:
If you have an SD card, try booting into recovery with an update.zip on the file.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navalynt:
I can get into the recovery, but the update.zip file needs to be signed. I created one that will push the original copies of the framework files I was working with but it won't install because it's signed with test keys. The stock recovery 3e needs update.zip files signed with the manufacturer release-keys which only Motorola has.

https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/46051?tstart=30

I started a thread on the official Motorola Owner's Forum in hopes I can find a full factory restore method for the OS. It's unfortunate that unlike HTC and other manufacturers who release full wipe RUU files Motorola has chosen to keep their restore files internally.

http://www.4shared.com/file/7YXo_gmO/update.html

That's the link to the update.zip file I was trying to use that fails because it's only signed with test-keys.

Dude I want to kill myself right now. Got two 1cm scratches on the middle bottom of my xoom. Not noticeable when the screen is on but jesus christ. It was with a ****en water bottle no metal.

I'm dying inside, need help. Anyway of minimizing this?

I bought this from verizon the day of release, is it possible to return and cancel contract? This sounds rediculous but I would love to restart the whole purchase process......****KKKKK
[Xoom General] SS2006:
Hey that rhymes
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
Small particles which are harder than gorilla glass can stick to either the glass surface or the plastic surface of your water bottle. Accidentally rub them into the glass with the water bottle and you can definitely scratch the glass.

Gorilla glass absolutely requires a screen protector.

As for the return, most places just make sure the serial number matches and the parts are in the box (cables, charger, etc). Never had anyone look closely at the display. Though if they saw it, I'm sure they would reject the return.
[Xoom General] dudeimgeorge:
any suggestions? ive thought about saying there is a defect in the software/hardware...to do an exchange..or purchasing one off contacting and switching?!

help me people..HELP MEE
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
If it's not noticeable when you're using it I'm sure you'll forget about it. No need to lie.

Calm down and take a few days to think about if you really care that much.

[Xoom General] dudeimgeorge:
yeah man but i have had my nexus one for over a year with no screen, no scratches. and thats with No gorilla glass.

this thing with its 'gorilla glass' was surrounded by a freaken poland spring bottle and got scratched?!

anyways, im going to the store, wiping everything...saying there is a horrible glitch where my accounts get dropped/no notifications/random reboots and hopefully the technician will buy it. oh, and ill spread abunch of oily finger prints to ward off the scratches...whatever the case..i did **** up but jesus, thats just wierd..wish me luck with my scumbaggery
[Xoom General] iceytea:
Plastic or glass?
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
This, if it were a glass water bottle it's your own fault. Glass + glass == scratch no matter what.
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
And there are other people who have scratched such screens. It can happen. So why bother risking it when a screen protector can be had for under $10? Well maybe under $20 for a tablet.
[Xoom General] Xoomblog:
i agree with the others: don't take it back to the store just because of 2 tiny scratches. With time, you will forget it. If it's not really visible when using, why stress? It's hard for you to go to sleep knowing that your xoom is not being used with a scratch on it?

I remember when I scratched the hell out of my 42-inch plasma tv when I was moving a few years ago. I was so upset, especially at the guy who let the door close on the screen. Once the tv was turned on, couldn't see the scratch, so I stopped worrying and my stress levels went down dramatically :-)
[Xoom General] ggoldfingerd:
Whatever you try be careful as you may cause more damage. Personally, I would try a small amount of toothpaste on a microfiber cloth. This method completely removed a scratch on my Epic 4G (Gorilla glass).

[Xoom General] dudeimgeorge:
it was a PLASTIC poland spring bottle.

im so sick to my stomach over the purchase amount and how fast it scratched. its disheartning...i mean, i have a nexus S now too (dropped 524 for it) and it doesnt have anything...

granted..i left the bottle in my duffle bag with my xoom, but seriously...nothing else in there..i guess i am freaking out but i dont get it.

i know its a low life move but im within my 14days return policy and maybe i can get away with making up false claims of software issues without the technician being too penetrating in operating it...and if so..ill walk away, head in lap, and accept the scratches.

ill post the damn pictures of it right now
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
Good luck man, I'd be rright there with you if that happened to me. It is your own idiocracy for not having a screen protector on I left the plastin on that said where the volume and whatnot on my xoom for two days till I got a screen protector.

But either way I'm rooting for you, let me know how things turn out.

And for the haters I know its his fault and it really don't effect anything significant, but can you honestly say you wouldn't try the same thing? I mean its not like he had it in a bag with a handful of coins, it was a water bottle, imagine that being you. Trying to be all healthy by drinking water only for it to turn on you and chomp up your new multi hundred dollar device's screen.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Now the real story, you left it in a duffel bag unprotected? I did that once with my kindle and the screen cracked. What do you expect will happen?
[Xoom General] dudeimgeorge:
no, i put it in there for my commute from work. in there for a 15 minute subway ride. i take it out while im on the train (nyc subway i leave it in the duffel, take it out when im on the Long Island Rail Road) and i look at the screen, about to faint from the amount of blood that ripped through my head in anger.

im so good with my tech stuff, honestly. who the **** would have ever imagine a water bottle a freaken water bottle.

anyways, i called random verizon stores making a bogus claim that i spoke to numerous motorola tech support people regarding faulty software/dumping out my account and spontaneous notification light...they were like..bring it in, a tech guy will see it and an exchange was made...so i was like ****..let me bring the scratches into light. they were all cool. one guy said 'man, u had this for barely a week, its regular wear and tear..im sure it doesnt look like you threw it around." but added as a disclaimer that its basically to the discretion of the store you go to.

[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I'm not on CSI: Miami or anything, but that circular scratch/crack is strange when it comes to your whole, plastic scratched my tablet theory.

Looks like someone/something bumped into the screen enough to flex it as well.

But then I'm sure the plastic did all that. Sure there isn't a zipper or something in that bag it could have rubbed up against?
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Gotta love the OP coming in here asking for advice on how to commit fraud and the people who are actually supporting him.

I hope that if you do try to return by lying that they don't let you and flag you. This is the reason stores have such **** return policies now, because entitled idiots do something stupid to their devices and then demand the store rectify their mistake.

You left it in your duffle bag. You learned your lesson. Don't leave an $800 piece of technology unprotected in a bag with dust and sand particles and a WATER BOTTLE. I mean seriously it doesn't get dumber than that.

Well, 14 day return period, no need to explain why you don't want it. If they asked me I would just say "don't want it" I don't recall VZW policy stating if we give a good enough excuse within 14 days they will accept the return

dont be such a dildo. if i can do it myself i would. actually **** that, i wouldnt, im still within my 14 days..and if this **** return policy doesnt fall through? guess what? Awesome, ill be sure to donate $13 to you too.

[Xoom General] Legacystar:
OK OP, you threw it in your Duffel bag which I will bet $400000000 has some dirt or sand particals in the bottom that prolly got onto the screen and tthe water bottle rubbed against the dirt and scratched it. Sand is glass and is about the only thing that can scratch glass. I'd put keys in my pocket with my phone before I would let any sand gget on it.

You can try scratchx from 3M and buff the scratch and see if it helps. But please don't take it bback to verizon and make them foot the bill. When you do that it just ends up translating into everyone on Verizon paying for it when They change some policy because to many people did it
[Xoom General] ggoldfingerd:
You can try it. Scratches can be polished off, but your are pretty deep. Something other than plastic had to touch it.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Why should anyone have to pay even $13, which is not what your mistake will cost to fix BTW, for your carelessness?

Take it back to Verizon or wherever you bought it from and show them the scratch and ask for them to replace it. Lying to them about some internal hardware defect is pretty ****ty.

I couldn't imagine leaving an $800 tablet completely unprotected in a duffel bag next to a WATER bottle, but if I ever was that careless I would try to fix it myself. I mean seriously, thought never crossed your mind that putting a WATER bottle next to your new $800 tablet was maybe a bad idea. You do know water and electronics don't mix to good right? At least they will probably charge you a $70 restocking fee for your mistake, which will help them cover your recklessness.
